July 4, 2008 Kenny Rogers allowed four earned runs on six hits over 7.2 innings in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Mariners in Seattle, with two walks and three strikeouts. Our View:Rogers drops to 6-6, and his ERA climbs to 4.60. He is 2-2 over his last four starts. |
|
June 29, 2008 Kenny Rogers improved to 6-5 with a so-so outing against the Rockies on Sunday. The southpaw allowed eight hits and three runs over six innings. His ERA stands at 4.59, but Rogers owns a 2.68 mark over six starts in June. Our View:We can't expect Rogers to keep dealing at a sub-3.00 level, but he's worth plugging in if the matchup looks good. |
|
June 18, 2008 Kenny Rogers held the Giants to one run on five hits and a walk while striking out a pair in the Tigers' 5-1 win Tuesday. The lefty threw just 90 pitches. Our View:The Gambler got off to a horrid start this year but has now allowed a mere four runs over his last five starts. He appears to be in line for another solid outing later this week, as he gets the Padres in San Diego. |
|
June 12, 2008 Kenny Rogers only surrendered one earned run on four hits over eight innings of work in Thursday's 2-1 win over the White Sox, with one walk and one strikeout. He pitched great, but left the game with a no decision. Miguel Cabrera broke the 1-1 tie with a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth. Our View:Rogers has allowed two or less earned runs in three straight starts, two of those games which the Tigers lost. |
|
June 7, 2008 Kenny Rogers had his third straight solid start as he held the Indians to three runs, one earned, over seven innings in a no-decision. Our View:Rogers still has a 5.13 ERA and is nothing more than a spot starter at his age, but he has found the strike zone and has allowed just three earned runs in his last three starts, so you can consider picking him up if you lost someone like Jake Westbrook recently. |
|
June 3, 2008 Kenny Rogers took another tough no-decision on Monday night. He held the A's to six hits and two runs over seven innings. Rogers tossed in four walks and three strikeouts. Our View:Rogers has pitched much better over his last two outings, but we're not ready to trust him in mixed leagues. Maybe one more good outing will do the trick. |
|
May 27, 2008 Kenny Rogers pitched seven scoreless innings but wasn't involved in the decision on Monday night as the high-dollar batting order of the Tigers were shutout by Angels fifth starter, Jon Garland. Rogers allowed only five hits and walked one while striking out two. Our View:This is as good as it gets from the aging southpaw. In fact, don't expect the veteran to pitch this good again. Not this year, and maybe never. Rogers had a 6.66 ERA and 1.88 WHIP coming into tonight's game against a good hitting Angels lineup. |
|
May 26, 2008 Kenny Rogers will aim to improve his 4-4 mark when the Tigers battle the Angels tonight, according to MLB.com. Our View:Rogers holds a poor 6.66 ERA and 1.88 WHIP, and has allowed 11 earned runs over his last two starts. He could end the night with a winning record, but should not be considered for your lineups. |
|
May 15, 2008 Kenny Rogers allowed 11 hits, three walks and seven runs over four innings to fall to 3-4 for the Tigers. Our View:Rogers may have stuck around one season too long as he has basically been only slightly better than a batting practice pitcher on most days. Only the desperate have Rogers rostered. |
|
May 9, 2008 Kenny Rogers pitched into the seventh inning for the first time this year, and received enough run support from his teammates to beat the New York Yankees 6-5 Friday night. Rogers won his third game of the year allowing two runs on nine hits, walked two and struck out three. Our View:The Yankees struggle against left-handed pitching and were unable to do much damage to the Tigers veteran. Rogers lowered his 6.27 ERA to 5.82. |
|
April 29, 2008 Kenny Rogers only lasted 3.1 innings in his last outing against Texas as he got rocked for six runs on nine hits, and will be looking to rebound tonight when he makes his next start against the Yankees, according to MLB.com. It won't be easy for him, as he holds a 5-7 record with a 6.45 ERA over his career in the regular season against New York, a team that he played for from 1996-1997. Our View:Rogers is namely having control issues right now as only 44 of his 73 pitches against Texas went for strikes in his last start, and he should remain on your bench tonight. He is 1-3 with a 7.66 ERA and 1.91 WHIP for the season. |
|
April 23, 2008 At first glance, we would think veteran starter Kenny Rogers would have enjoyed the 6-19 victory over the Texas Rangers, but the Detroit hurler failed to get his team off on the right foot and left without a decision. Rogers lasted just 3 1/3 innings, surrendering six runs (all earned) on nine hits. Rogers threw 73 pitches (44 for strikes) in that short outing, surrendering three walks and earning no strike outs. Our View:Rogers has allowed way too many runs over his last three starts: 17 runs surrendered, ALL EARNED. That's a problem. |
|
April 23, 2008 Kenny Rogers will take the mound tonight as the Tigers host the Rangers, according to MLB.com. Rogers is 1-3 with a 6.33 ERA, and is 6-3 with a 3.80 ERA lifetime over 15 appearances against the Rangers. Our View:He could win tonight, while opposed by righty Luis Mendoza who is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA, but he will likely give up more runs than favorable (evidenced by his 6.33 ERA), and he isn't a solid fantasy play. |
|
April 18, 2008 Kenny Rogers won his first game since last July as he worked 6.2 innings and limited the Blue Jays to four runs on three hits and four walks. Our View:Rogers just needs to keep the game close to allow the Tigers time to mount some offense, but his ratio's are going to be borderline 'hide the children' territory, so you are really going to have to pay for those victories. |
|
April 8, 2008 Kenny Rogers is set to take the hill for the winless Tigers today, according to MLB.com. Rogers notably pitched well in his first start, as he only allowed two earned runs on five hits over six innings. He holds a 11-7 career record against Boston with a 4.81 ERA. The Tigers really need to end their losing streak and Rogers seems up to the challenge. |
|
April 2, 2008 Kenny Rogers was dealt his first loss of the season against the Royals on Wednesday, as he allowed two runs on five hits over six innings, with one walk and four strikeouts. He had a fairly solid spring training and should bounce back in his next trip to the hill. |
|
March 27, 2008 Kenny Rogers improved his spring record to 2-0 as he only allowed two runs on three hits over four innings against Philadelphia on Thursday, with no walks and one strikeout. His ERA now stands at 3.44 and he should make a fine late round draft pick, as long as he stays healthy. |
|
March 17, 2008 Kenny Rogers had a solid outing against the Reds on Monday as he only allowed two runs on six hits over five innings, with one walk and one strikeout. Rogers should make a fine late round draft pick, as long as he stays healthy. |
|
March 12, 2008 Kenny Rogers became the first Detroit pitcher to work at least five innings in a game this spring. The Tigers left-handed veteran struggled in the second inning but retired the final 10 batters he faced for the win. Rogers is being ignored in most traditional mixed leagues. His ADP, according to Mock Draft Central, is the 29th round of 30 round formats. |
|
February 17, 2008 Kenny Rogers is 43-years-old, but he still has a lot to offer the Tigers both on and off the field according to MLB.com. "Kenny knows exactly how he goes about his business," manager Jim Leyland said. "He knows how to prepare himself." Rogers will have to once again prove himself after throwing only 63 innings last season, the lowest total of his career. Rogers can still win games but it's been three years since he totaled 100 K and his WHIP hasn't been below 1.26 since 1998, so tread carefully. |
